Excerpt from George Balcombe, Vol. 1 of 2: A Novel
At this moment, a shout from behind reached my ear. I turned, and saw a man on horseback, standing between me and the sky, on the top of the east swell. Though a quarter of a mile off, his figure stood out in such distinct relief, that every limb was conspicuous, and well defined on the bright background. He was stationary, standing erect in his stirrups, and twisted around, so that his back and his horse's head were both towards me. After repeating a shout, which I found was a call to a dog, he put his horse in motion, and advanced at a brisk trot.
